Why broccoli is great for babies
Vitamin C, vitamin K, folate and fiber. The floret shape is nature's baby handle.
How to serve at 6–8 months
Steam whole florets with a long stem until soft. Baby holds the stem and gnaws the floret — a perfect natural handle.

Smaller soft-cooked florets or bite-size pieces.
How to serve at 12+ months
Bite-size cooked pieces; try roasted with olive oil and a squeeze of lemon.
